I can speak for the following equipment you have listed:

LEG PADS
Rebel Pro
- very protective leg pad, has good size
- didn't like the leather straps that came with them, switched to nylon straps, much like the MaxLax shins

CHEST & ARM
MaxLax MXCA-NLL2
- desighned by former NLL goalie and current Minnesota Swarm GM Marty O' Neill
- as used by NLL goalies, except that they have the RBK logos instead
- one of the better protective chest protectors out there
- hard plastics on the outside of arms and the shoulders can lead to big rebounds
- since the back of the arms are wide open, you need separate elbow pads for additional protection, especially if you tend to play outside the crease often

PANTS
MaxLax MXPT-1000
- made for box lacrosse goalies
- the most used pant in the game
- padding can be customized when ordering to your needs

GLOVES
Eagle Sentry
- originally marketed as a hockey glove, but is mostly used by box goalies
- the most protective glove on the market, especially on the backroll
- wide fit in cuff to accomodate arm padding near the wrist area

Fury
- designed by Colorado Mammoth and Brooklin Redmen goalie Gee Nash
- tight fitting and flexible
- better thumb protection than Eagle Sentry (doubled padding at base of thumb)

NOTE: regardless of which glove you use, a very hard shot on the thumb of the stick hand will extremely hurt very much

NOTE: all the equipment I have listed also comes in custom colours, except the Eagle Sentry gloves if they were made recently

From what I have use:
Chest Pad:
STX Blue uppers
- Very protective. They only spot where I actually feel pain is just above the wrist.
- Flexible. I can move my arms around and does not get in the way of clears.
- Nice size. It fits really well on me. I think I use a large and I am ~5'11"

Pants:
STX Select:
- Protective
- Still has room for easy movement

Leg Guards:
MXSH-1000
- Nice fit to them.
- Protective.
- DCoes not restrict my movement.

I am so glad that my league provides all that for us goalies. Too bad they only have 2 pairs of the uppers size large while there are 4 intermediate teams who use them ugh.
